Yangambi

Spanning forest, agricultural and riverine systems in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Tshopo Province, the Yangambi Engagement Landscape is a living model of integrated, landscape-scale transformation.

Its mission? To help families transition away from forest-degrading activities by replacing them with profitable, sustainable alternatives. Through sustained multi-donor support, the landscape has evolved into a thriving innovation hub where stakeholders – researchers, farmers, women’s groups, youth, forest users, government agencies and international partners – collaborate to build integrated circular value chains that drive local development.

Key results

• 3 million fast-growing and indigenous trees planted on 3,600 ha of degraded land restored through agroforestry plantations
